Kevin Dubois of Lapels Dry Cleaning

HANOVER, MA…

In its company literature, Lapels Dry Cleaning describes itself as “an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company”. Entrepreneur magazine agrees, listing the Hanover, Massachusetts based franchisor as one of several franchisors that have used innovation as a means to attracting new franchisees.

“The best way for franchisors to attract new business is by being different: doing something no one else has done before, or doing something old in a new way,” said Tracy Stapp Herold, author of the article entitled “The Leading Edge: Franchisors Are Innovating in Big Ways”. “Innovation is just as important to a system with 30,000 units as one that’s just starting out.”

Innovations cited include:

  • Eco-friendly solvents use to clean clothes
  • Machines that maintain and recycle cleaning solution
  • LED lighting in its signage
  • Hanger recycling programs conducted by franchisees with proceeds going to local food pantries.

“To us, being an environmentally responsible dry cleaner is just the right way to do business. If that attracts new franchisees, even better. But our goal has been and will continue to be improving the way we do our business and our offerings,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning.

Lapels has pioneered its eco-friendly dry cleaning experience over the past 10-plus years.  Using the latest technology in equipment and cleaning solution, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners around to be able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process. Lapels  environmentally-friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes. At Lapels you can see, feel and smell the difference.

Lapels customers are greeted to a warm and inviting reception area, with friendly customer service representatives, and a full service on-site tailor.

Lapels offers its customers Automatic Rewards earning them credit towards free dry cleaning for every dollar they spend, Loyalty Programs, a VIP Program which eliminates the need to wait in line and the use of a 24 Hour Drop Off Service. Same day service is also available with pick-up after 5 pm.

Thanks, Buddies. Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac honors Best Buddies participants at Plymouth North High School.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

Since 2007, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has recognized dozens of students at Plymouth North and South high schools for going above and beyond in both the classroom and in the community. Tracy kicked off 2013-14 Driven Student Awards program by honoring the largest group of students in the history of this program: the Best Buddies of Plymouth North High School.

Best Buddies® is an international nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. More than 50 students participate in the Best Buddies program at Plymouth North High School.

“We started the Best Buddies program back in 2008 as a way to get our special needs students involved and to feel more a part of the community here at North,” said Christine Belmonte, a special needs teacher at North. “Study after study has revealed that special needs students that have a more active social life are happier, healthier and live longer. The Best Buddies program makes that happen.”

Adds North’s Best Buddies program Co-Founder Barbara Gravell-Perry, “Whether you are one of the buddies, a peer or an associate, I think all the students gain something from being in this program.”

The program works with one of the buddies being paired off with a peer. The peer then has the responsibility to have at least two contacts per week with their buddy. That can be a phone call or an in-person visit. Associates are those who don’t necessarily have the time to make a weekly commitment but participate when they can.

“This is not a program for those who are not committed,” said Alex Wrack, student president of the Plymouth North Best Buddies program.

As part of the recognition of being selected Driven Students of the Month, the students in the Best Buddies program received a pizza party, courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. More than 50 students and faculty attended.

“This was by far the largest pizza party we’ve had since we started doing the Driven Student program. For what these young people are doing, they are most deserving of this recognition,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. “

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

Since its beginnings in 1992, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has emphasized first-rate customer service and straightforward, bottom-line pricing with fair trade-ins every time–without the games or gimmicks you find at other dealerships.

AVON and WESTBOROUGH, MA…

SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products from recycled materials, recently announced a representative agreement with ProSpec Solutions, Inc. of Westborough, MA.  Based in Westborough, MA, ProSpec Solutions will take on the role of SelecTech’s outside sales representative for the New England commercial flooring market.

“Our products are made of 70 percent recycled materials and are 100 percent recyclable. We wanted to work with a manufacturer’s representative familiar with selling green commercial flooring products. Tom Connors and the team at ProSpec Solutions sell a number of green flooring products and we felt it would be a good match for our FreeStyle flooring products,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Incorporated.

In addition to largely being made of recyclable material, SelecTech’s FreeStyle flooring products are 100 percent recyclable. Utilizing a breakthrough interlocking technology, FreeStyle products completely bypass the need for adhesives and floor prep to install or replace flooring. This dramatically reduces installation times because old flooring can be left in place and machinery and furniture do not have to be completely moved or removed for installation.

“We’re extremely excited about marketing FreeStyle products to our current customer base and prospects,” said Tom Connors, president and founder of ProSpec Solutions, Inc. “The New England market is known for technology. The FreeStyle products, will be particularly attractive to biotech, healthcare industries, and other high-tech industries here in New England.”

Growing businesses and moustaches. My Pinnacle Network, a B2B networking organization, fields team for Movember fundraiser for prostate cancer research.

 

Joe D’Eramo of My Pinnacle Network after Movember 2011

BOURNE, BRAINTREE, MANSFIELD, MARSHFIELD, NEWTON, PLYMOUTH, ROCKLAND AND WESTBOROUGH, MA AND PROVIDENCE, RI…

In its monthly B2B networking meetings, My Pinnacle Network preaches the value of networking as the best tool for generating leads and referrals leading to new business. Next month, My Pinnacle Network Founders Steve Dubin and Joe D’Eramo will put this philosophy to the test as they participate in the Movember fundraiser to generate funds for prostate cancer research. And they are asking their network to join them.

Movember is an international fundraiser sponsored by the Prostate Cancer, LIVESTRONG and Movember foundations. During the entire month of November participants grow mustaches during the entire month as a rallying point for raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer health and other men’s cancer-related issues.

“The fight against prostate cancer is a big one, even larger than my partner Joe D’Eramo,” said Dubin of the 6’6” D’Eramo. “We’re inviting all members of the 10 My Pinnacle Network groups to join us in this fight either by growing moustaches with us or by supporting the effort monetarily.”

My Pinnacle Network hosts business-to-business networking groups in Bourne, Braintree, Mansfield, Marshfield, Newton, Plymouth, Providence, Rockland and Westborough.

Interested parties, both My Pinnacle Network members and non-members, can join the My Pinnacle Network team by visiting its Movember team site at http://us.movember.com/team/1027241.

“I’m actually going to have to shave off my goatee to participate in this fundraiser, but it is worth it,” said D’Eramo, whose father is a prostate cancer survivor. “I recently lost a relative to prostate cancer and my next store neighbor growing up has it. Cancer is a wicked disease and must be stopped. If me and some of my networking colleagues can help make that happen by growing a cheesy moustache for a month, that’s a very small sacrifice.”

According to the Movember website, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, with a man being diagnosed with prostate cancer every 2.2 minutes. In fact, one in two men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Making this even more scary is that 24 percent of men are less likely to go the doctor compared to women.

For Movember, each participant must start clean-shaven on November 1. Donors and fellow Mo Bros can follow the progress of each participant’s mustache and fundraising on a Mo Page. Participants are encouraged to be creative with their mustaches in order to promote donations.

“I’m not sure what Joe has in mind, but I’m going with the Fu Manchu,” said Dubin. “We will be  posting both our faces and that of our fellow teammates My Pinnacle Network’s blog and Facebook page so people can check us out. We’ve also put out a notice to our clients and networking groups to see if they want to join us. There’s always room for one Mo.”

To follow the ‘stache efforts of the My Pinnacle Network team, you can visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MyPinnacleNetwork or their blog at www.mypinnaclenetwork.com. For those interested in donating, you can find out more about the type of work you’d be helping to fund by visiting the Movember website: http://us.movember.com/about. Movember is a registered 501 (c)(3) charity; donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

About My Pinnacle Network
My Pinnacle Network streamlines the networking process by putting members shoulder to shoulder with others who are in the exact same traffic lanes. Another advantage of this networking concept is that if approved, a member has the exclusive rights to their category for their group–more than 40 other categories will be represented at each meeting.

Beyond the B to B angle, My Pinnacle Network adds the element of “high tech” to “high touch” of monthly face to face meetings.  All group data flows through a robust and easy to use website.  This keeps everyone accountable and highly visible.

All introductions/leads are posted to the My Pinnacle Network website and the website’s automation both tracks leads and provides reminders to pursue them.  Each member’s lead production and closing ratio can be measured by the group leader at any time.  Thus, non-productive members can be further coached to improve their value to the group.

If you are interested in attending a meeting in your area, please contact Steven V. Dubin at SDubin@MyPinnacleNetwork.com or 781-582-1061 to RSVP. There is no charge to visit a My Pinnacle Network meeting. For more information, visit www.mypinnaclenetwork.com.

Weymouth dentist adds blood pressure screening to comprehensive exam services

The Toothboss

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA…

For more than a few people, a trip to the dentist can raise their blood pressure. If that fear/anxiety raises your blood pressure to pre-hypertension levels—120-139 Systolic and greater than 80 Diastolic—then it might be risky treating that patient. That’s why Dr. Richard Wolfert, a South Weymouth dentist who goes by the moniker of The Toothboss, has added blood pressure screening as part of the comprehensive annual exam for patients.

“There are many reasons for doing a BP screening as part of a dental exam. Besides normal anxiety, some of the procedures we do utilize pharmacologies that can impact blood pressure. So having an accurate read prior to the start of treatment is extremely important, particularly if the patient has high blood pressure or is on medication for it,” said Wolfert. “The other part is that many people are unaware that they have high blood pressure, largely because they don’t get an annual check-up with their physician. A visit to the dentist should not replace that, but checking BP as part of the exam can alert patients to a potential problem.”

Hypertension or high blood pressure affects more than one in three adults in the United States. It’s also estimated that another 30 percent of the population has pre-hypertension. That’s blood pressure higher than what’s considered acceptable for an adult, 120 systolic/80 diastolic.

“Prior to 2007, 135/85 had been considered an acceptable pressure. That now is considered pre-hypertension. So there’s a real need to stay on top of your blood pressure,” said Wolfert.

That’s a subject Dr. Wolfert does not take lightly. As a dental student, his professor assigned the students in class to practice taking blood pressure readings on friends and family. Wolfert practiced on his father. The first reading shocked him. So, he took another and another. Each came back with the same conclusion.

“My father had high blood pressure. My practicing on him probably saved his life because I’m not sure he would have gone to the doctor on his own,” said Wolfert. “And that’s why we are taking this extra step by eventually doing blood pressure screenings on everybody who visits me or one of our hygienists.”

Dr. Wolfert’s practice is located at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, and accepts most insurance plans. They also accept payment from most PPO and indemnity plans, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Delta Dental.

For more information on The Toothboss, visit Dr. Wolfert’s website at www.toothboss.com or call 781-335-0604 to schedule a consultation.
